Perhaps she did not want you to see her in such a vulnerable and not-so-pretty state, if in fact she is wanting to pursue things with you again. That would be my thought. Cause in a way, you guys are dating again, and when your dating, for us girls, we don't want our guys to see us looking like crap.
this almost made me laugh. My darling usually does not go out of her way to veil her "vulnerable and not-so-pretty state's" from me. She generally does not believe she is pretty anyway ..but that is a whole 'nother story. It seems after that first couple weeks or so of courtship for us that our's is much more of a casual R. No emphasis placed on the rituals that go along with courtship (all that trickery and deceitfulness ..haha).
Speaking for myself (which is the extent that I like to curtail things at) I still find that I occasionally like to get dressed up and be my handsome self for her (course that doesn't take an awful lot )
